Abstract:
PURPOSE: A zirconia nanotube, a manufacturing method thereof, and a manufacturing method of hydrogen through thermochemical water splitting are provided to form zirconia nanotubes through an anodization process in a short period of time. CONSTITUTION: A manufacturing method of a zirconia nanotube comprises the following step: forming zirconia nanotubes through anodization within a halogen-containing electrolyte. The zirconia nanotube is formed into a powdered form. The concentration of the halogen-containing electrolyte is 0.05-0.5 M. The applied electric potential in the anodization is 2-100 V. The anodization is performed for 0.001-120 minutes. The length of the zirconia nanotube is in micrometer units. A manufacturing method of the hydrogen through thermochemical hydrolysis comprises the following step: producing hydrogen by hydrolysis through a thermochemical cycle.
